Liens that survive

Same Michigan foreclosure framework: judgment clears most private liens; federal liens and some governmental assessments can survive. Run municipal lien/special-assessment search.

Quiet title

Foreclosure judgment is primary title step; quiet title still used when insurers want extra comfort on tax-foreclosed residential parcels.

Verify before you bid

This record was compiled from the published sale list. Parcels are pulled, redeemed, and re-priced up to the moment of sale. Confirm the lot is still in the sale, and confirm the opening bid, directly with the county.

Walk away above this. Projected profit at the ceiling: $42,285 (30% of ARV).

Opening bid $21,665

Room to bid $60,099

Confidence: medium — ARV from a provider market estimate, not comps.

History-guided suggestion

Co-pilot target using recorded auction history. Never above your maximum bid.

History sample

Median sold

$3,900

p(redeem) prior

History n=17156: median sold $3,900 is well below oracle $81,763 — target ~82% of ceiling.

Your assumptions

After-repair value (ARV)

Override the derived estimate with real comps

Rehab budget

You cannot inspect before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition

Known surviving liens

Municipal code enforcement, special assessments, federal tax liens

Target margin — 30%

Required profit as a share of ARV. 30% is a common floor for tax-sale flips.

How that number is built

Provider market estimate of $140,950. This is an as-is valuation, not an after-repair one — enter your own comparable-sales figure if the property needs work.

After-repair value: $140,950
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$11,276
Rehabassumed No rehab budget entered — assumed $0. Tax-sale parcels are sold unseen and un-inspected; this is rarely correct.: −$0
Quiet title (required)assumed Midpoint of the typical MI range ($2,000–$4,000, ~9 months).: −$3,000
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical MI recording and deed issuance cost.: −$300
Holding costs (11 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$211/month.: −$2,326
Surviving liensassumed Assumed $0 — not verified. Municipal code-enforcement liens, special assessments, and federal tax liens can survive the sale.: −$0
Target profit (30% of ARV): −$42,285
Maximum bid: $81,763

Before you bid

Rehab is assumed to be $0. You cannot inspect these properties before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition.
Surviving liens assumed $0. Michigan's foreclosure judgment cuts off prior liens and the owner's interest, so title is comparatively clean — quiet title is often unnecessary.
